Collecting,
preserving, and displaying insects can be both fun and educational. We
have developed a series of videos that explain and demonstrate how to
collect insects, pin and prepare them,
and preserve insect collections.

videos
Also,
Bart Drees, Professor of Entomology at the Texas A&M Department of Entomology,
has developed an excellent website to help with these tasks. We will
eventually move much of the content of Bart's website to this website,
but for now
please visit bughunter.tamu.edu.
You will find all of the tips and expert advice needed to easily increase
the
number and kind of specimens your students will collect. Bart also explains
why these methods work. This is an excellent resource, and we are happy
to be able to feature it on our website.
Other resources are available on the internet. If you know of good websites, please send the addresses to us.
